[API] Assign employee to shop

[Wazzu]

Hi all.

 

I've been able to create a new shop in a multistore shop using webservices.

After creating a shop, I asign an URL to that shop.

Finally, I create a new employee and everithing is fine, no errors, all objects are created.

 

Problem is that new newly create employee has access to the main store, not the new multishop I've just created.

 

Question is:

how can I make it from webservices so I can assign an employee to a specific multistore?

Is it even possible?

 

Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi, shoofra 

Unluckly I got no way of doing it so I had to create a new class for the api to manage this

 

First I expanded webservices by creating override\classes\webservice/WebserviceRequest.php

<?php
class WebserviceRequest extends WebserviceRequestCore {

	public static function getResources() {
		$resources=parent::getResources();
		$resources['employee_shop'] = array('description' => 'Employees Shop assignation', 'class' => 'EmployeeShop');
		ksort($resources);
		return $resources;
	}

}

Then I created a override/classes/EmployeeShop.php file

class EmployeeShopCore extends ObjectModel
{
	/** @var int Determine employee id */
	public $id_employee;

	/** @var int Determine shop id */
	public $id_shop;

	/**
	 * @see ObjectModel::$definition
	 */
	public static $definition = array(
		'table' => 'employee_shop',
		'primary' => 'id_employee',
		'fields' => array(
			'id_employee' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'required' => true),
			'id_shop' =>     array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'required' => true),
		),
	);

	protected $webserviceParameters = array(
		'fields' => array(
			'id_employee' => array('xlink_resource' => 'employees'),
			'id_shop' => array('xlink_resource' => 'shops'),
		),
	);
	
	public function add($autodate = true, $null_values = false) {
		$result = parent::add($autodate, $null_values);
	}
}

Finally I ended up by another way, so these code snippets are a work-in-progress, maybe not fully funcitonals

BTW, when you're done, you'll realize you still need to import products, categories, cms, currencies, countries.. and about 40 more items :-(
